ML&M 100 (Brian’s Brookville) has been designated a track car for this very reason: it doesn’t have a sufficient audible warning device to protect crossings. It’s also got a very limited number of qualified operators and we expect its use will be very limited, though we are extremely grateful that Brian has made it available to us.

Whistles use a lot of air. Putting on a whistle on air loud enough to provide sufficient warning at crossings would be too hard on most small locomotive air systems.

It is not something I would be comfortable in very long. Front and rear windows are tinted, and with no wipers really made visiblity tough. Low headroom, but that could be fixed by installing a different seat. Stopping at every crossing was not a real issue as I was travelling at a reduced speed anyhow. It does ride nice compared to the 52. Coil springs work well at less than 8mph..

Timeless nice pics. Thanks for posting them. They do show how much you guys have been dedicated to rebuilding an historical railway and not a tourist attraction for 30 years. By the way have you plan a special event to celebrate WW&F Ry Museum 30th anniversary ?
